As a young person just learning to drive, I spent about 8 days preparing for the Subject 4 test by practicing questions for two hours daily. Subject 4 is mainly a safety knowledge test, covering traffic signs and rule-based questions, which is not as difficult as the driving test. I downloaded the Driver's License Guide app and went through the question bank, focusing on tackling tricky questions like blind spot handling and speed limit signs. The first three days were spent quickly reviewing key points, followed by five days of mock tests, ensuring scores above 90 before registering for the exam. My instructor said most people can manage it within a week, but those with weaker foundations might need up to two weeks to avoid anxiety. The key is to practice more—don’t just read, combine app exercises for better efficiency. Personally, I felt the progress was quite fast, as long as time was managed well.

As a working professional with frequent overtime, I had to find spare time to practice for the Subject 4 test. I spent two weeks preparing, doing 20 minutes of questions on my phone during my daily commute, and focusing on review during weekends. The content covered safe driving basics, like emergency handling and traffic rule comprehension, which were relatively easy to grasp. Initially, I only glanced at materials sporadically, but later found that using an app for practice questions was faster, so I went through all the questions in the database, averaging two sets of tests per day. The key to preparation is focusing on high-risk topics like drunk driving penalties and overtaking rules. If you have a good memory, 10 days should be enough; for those squeezing in time like me, 15 days at most should suffice. The crucial point is not to interrupt your study—maintaining continuity yields noticeably better results.

When I took the Subject 4 test at an older age, my learning pace was a bit slower, so I dedicated a full week to review. The content was all based on common traffic knowledge and turned out to be simpler than expected. I spent three days intensively going through the study materials to familiarize myself with the basics of safe driving, and then used the next four days to repeatedly practice mock questions on the computer. I focused on reviewing traffic sign recognition and accident handling procedures to reinforce my memory. My instructor said those with a good foundation could pass in three to five days, but I added a few extra days to ensure stability. During practice, it’s important not to rush—taking it step by step improves efficiency.
